        1st December,special thing about it is that this day is observe as World AIDS Day ,it is dedicated to raise awareness to the AIDS which is largely spread over geographical area of the World caused by HIV infection.Government and health officials also observe the event, often with speeches or forums on the AIDS topics.Talking about history of this day, World AIDS Day was first conceived in August 1987 by James W. Bunn and Thomas Netter, two public information officers for the Global Programme on AIDS at he World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland.This day also plays vital role to educate people more about this disease as still many people of the World have many confusion regarding this disease with many wrong beliefs and wrong attitude towards patient suffering with HIV/AIDS.
          It is imporatant to understand exactly what is HIV/AIDS and what are the causes of this disease,AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome)is a disease of the human immune system caused by the (human immunodeficiency virus) HIV.This is the disease which heavily attack immune system of the human being which results in many opportunistics infection and diseases.HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk.This transmission can involve anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated hypodermic needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.
          As per research it is esteemated that approximately 60 million people are infected with this disease and near about 24 million people are dead by this infection.As there is no exact medicine or cure is available over this disease,still there is a hope for infected people in the form of an antiretroviral treatment popularly known as ART.Current treatment for HIV infection consists of highly active antiretroviral therapy, or HAART. This has been highly beneficial to many HIV-infected individuals since its introduction in 1996 when the protease inhibitor-based HAART initially became available.Current optimal HAART options consist of combinations consisting of at least three drugs belonging to at least two types, or "classes," of antiretroviral agents.
         But this treatment is not easily available to all people in many countries but many Government of countries like INDIA provide this treatment at free of cost in Government Hospital where patient gets full treatment with no cost also as this medicine is highly reactive sometimes there are chances of reaction of this medicine and hence Community Care Centers are formed to give supportive treatment and ART adherence to the patient.Krupaprasad CCC situated in Nashik , Maharastra is one the well known Community Care
Center which provides good supportive treatment and ART adherence to the patient with regular follow up of the patient at free of cost to the patient.Krupaprasad CCC also provides nutritional support to the HIV/AIDS infected childrens at free of cost.
          Hope this World AIDS Day will make more awareness to the people regarding disease and help people to change their attitude towards people infected by this disease.
